Summary

Instutrade.com, aka Academy Of Trading And Portfolio Management, is yet another trading educator touting a fantasy lifestyle of shrimp cocktails and champagne, sports cars, private jets, helicopters, yachts, and exotic travels. The owner of the company is even claiming to be taking a rocket ship into space. Yes folks, for only $2,999 you can purchase the video lessons that reveal all of the secrets to finally become a full-time professional trader.

Unfortunately, the performance history of Anton Kreil is nowhere to found. Claims of being a multimillionaire and retiring by age 25 cannot be verified. Claims of being the top rated trader in the world while working at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Lehman Brothers appear to be an alternative reality that feeds into the typical stereotype of the millionaire trader.

Hurry, because seating is extremely limited, Mr. Kreil is a man in high demand, and provides economic advice to world leaders, Central Banks, celebrities, and CEO’s of major financial institutions.

Who in the heck is Anton Kreil?

It appears that in 2010, Mr. Kreil appeared in a TV reality show titled, “Million Dollar Traders”. Mr. Kreil appeared as one of the “trading instructors” in the show. The show claims that Anton Kreil became a millionaire trader by the age of 25. Though none of this can actually be independently verified, it is important to note that the producer of the show, and Anton Kreil were close personal friends before the production of the reality show.

A review of Anton Kreil’s biography and supposed personal history includes a charming story about he grew up dirt poor in the UK, and then he began trading at the age of 16. At the age of 20, his trading was so amazing that Goldman Sachs eagerly sought his guidance and counsel on international trading. He claims to have worked the next 4 years as an equities trader with truly marvelous success.

Word of his amazing trading abilities spread quickly throughout the world’s trading communities. At 24, he claims to have been recruited by Lehman Brothers, where he worked for 2 years, and built the “number one in the world ranked European trading operation.” He then claims that he then joined Lehman Brothers and then JP Morgan where he went on to earn millions of dollars.

When he was only 25 years old, he became disillusioned with the world of international finance. He then decided to sell everything and become an international traveller. He then travelled all over the world, in search of deeper meaning, and to discover the meaning of life. After travelling through 25 countries and interacting with “common folk” he had an epiphany. He discovered his true calling. He wanted to be a trading educator. And spread the wealth of his financial knowledge to the world. The idea of the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management was born. Now, anyone could become a millionaire trader, just like Anton Kreil. All for today’s low price of only $2,999. But people should hurry because the price is increasing at any moment.

Anton Kreil Who?

At TradingSchools.Org, we have heard all of this sort of stuff before. And too many times, we have discovered that the supposed trading guru is just a charlatan looking to hustle a few thousand dollars by suckering in the newbie trader for what remains of their credit card limit. With Anton Kreil, we began our investigation by contacting him directly. The number one question, is this guy really a millionaire trader? Is there any track record? If any track record of successful trading exists, he certainly was not willing to share it with TradingSchools.Org. Nor is he willing to share his supposed performance with prospective purchasers of his various trading products.

I drink champagne in Monaco. While I look at my yacht.

Anton Kreil claims to have managed one of the largest trading desks in the world, which he claims was rated number one in the world for performance. Yet no articles referencing this information exists.

Is Anton Kreil really a millionaire trader? In all honesty, nobody really knows for sure. Can we legitimise or validate any of his story regarding his work history? Yes. In fact, a prior work history of Anton Kreil can be found posted on the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. Anton Kreil is listed as an investment advisor for Goldman Sachs from 2001 – 2004, and then Lehman Brothers from 2004 – 2006, JP Morgan from 2006 – 2007.

Registered Investment Advisor=Anton Kreil=World Class Trader?

The big question that prospective consumers of Anton Kreil products need to ask themselves…if Anton Kreil is a registered investment advisor, does this also mean that he is a millionaire and a world class trader? My mother has a registered investment advisor that advises her, and has worked at JP Morgan for 20+ years. In fact, he is the Vice President of JP Morgan. One of many thousands of Vice Presidents at JP Morgan. This is the corny little secret with big banks, everyone gets a fancy title…which means very little.

Whenever a registered investment advisor starts flaunting their supposed personal wealth and spends a major portion of their day talking about their personal wealth…it all sounds so suspicious. Maybe this is why the SEC created a video to remind the general public to be wary of investment advisors that like to flaunt their amazing lifestyle:

The fantasy lifestyle of Anton Kreil

Everyone is familiar with Timothy Sykes and his rented Ferrari’s, rented mansions, rented bikini models, etc. Its what I like to call “Trader Porn”. Tim Sykes was an early pioneer of the marketing concept. Create a fantasy world of what the trading public dreams about; trading from a laptop, taking exotic vacations, driving Italian sports cars, dating bikini models, flying helicopters and private jets, bottles of champagne flowing freely, beautiful people enjoying parties and poolside retreats, private yachts. All you need is a laptop computer and the “secrets of trading” course for $4,999.

It seems that Anton Kreil is of the “Trader Porn” variety. His Facebook page is a testament to his supposed trading greatness and personal wealth, included are exotic Italian sports cars, beautiful women, exotic locales, champagne bubbling, a yacht, private jets, helicopters, all manner of ostentatious nonsense. Even a rocket ship. No kidding. Even pictures of a supposed rocket ship that is going to fly him to outer space. It is all a red herring. Its meant to distract from the obviousness of no track record and numerous inconsistencies. The following are a few images from this supposed fantasy lifestyle, which can all be yours for only $2,999.

What is obvious? There is no performance history for Anton Kreil. All of these shiny objects are meant to convey a virtual, fantasy world, that you too can be part of. For only a small fee, you can be part of the 1%, that does not worry about money. Instead, uses the magical trading techniques of Anton Kreil to predict where world markets are moving. It’s all a fantasy folks. And these poor people got suckered into that fantasy…complaint A, complaint B.

Wrapping Things Up

Nothing would make me happier than the supposed super trader, known as Anton Kreil to prove me wrong. Anton, when you read this, it’s going to sting. But I believe this is an accurate portrayal of you. Am not buying your bullshit about becoming a multimillionaire by age 25, neither am I buying the bullshit of building world class trading desks at JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers, and Goldman Sachs. None of it adds up. Even the story of your rocket ship flying you to space appears to be pure PS. To me, you appear to be a nothing more than a common charlatan.

Wow!! This reminds me of the saying why think small, GO BIG. I mean if you are going to be a con artist why do the shell game on the corner when you can sell sky scrappers you do not own. This guy puts the small time con artist to shame. He is there new role model. In fact he should open up a education school for them so they can be the best con men they can be. And you pointed out something interesting, this guy gets on a TV show. To a smaller extent, it reminds of future… Read more »

Second Post. I tried to post this earlier but it would not post. I think it was because it had hyperlinks in it With respect Emmett. I think you are wrong on this one. I have just searched the UK FSA /FCA register and Anton is there and listed as having worked at the firms mentioned. Furthermore I have checked Companies House and he was the Director of WK Partners which shows to be a fairly profitable company over the years it was active. Nature of that business was the letting of his own property. He is now the Director… Read more »

I may be missing something but when I search www dot fca dot org dot uk / I get nothing at all for Anton Kreil. Here’s what I get from thr register: Status: Inactive (Reference number AXK01212) An individual (and some firms) previously approved to perform certain tasks in a regulated firm. Such individuals were described as “approved persons” and the tasks as “controlled functions”. For ‘inactive’ refer to home page. Controlled functions – current Controlled functions are the tasks that an individual (and some firms) must be approved for so they can perform them in an authorised firm. There… Read more »

Thanks I found it. Wallwood dotcom is interesting. For a start Mario Kelly looks like he belongs in the Mob rather than the financial industry. Eliot Wilkinson looks like he’s thinking more about how he can get his rocks off at Prom than tracking financial investments. As for fees, 2% per annum and 20% of any profits. I’ve dealt with these type of thieves before. I “invested” $55,000 with a similar type of firm from the UK more than 15 years ago, today my $55,000 is worth $9,000. These guys are as bad as Wells Fargo and worse than trading… Read more »

I could be wrong but I still smell bullshit. Reading the testimonials on his site it doesn’t matter which country the testimony come from, Norway, Germany or Finland they all have perfect written English complete with colloquial patterns of speech.

Every business or entity is guilty of some level of showmanship. Its become almost a right of passage for any Web 2.0 company or service to exaggerate testimonials and hype up their services. He needs to sell the dream because there are always dreamers looking to buy. That’s where the fish swim ergo that’s where to fish. having said that it does not mean what’s being sold is rubbish. In this case there certainly is at the very least ‘some value’ to the learnings from someone who has been a professional trader working for some of the biggest firms in… Read more »

A lot of successful people in the trading realm or for that matter most successful people in any line of business tend to be cocky and full of themselves. Something about sheer determination to be better than anyone else and the strong driving force to succeed and be the best brings out the worst in some people.

I really thought Anton Kreil was a retired trader. He was supposed to be going up in space in a Rocket to make the first ever currency trade in space for the Guinness Book of records as the first Trader in Space to make a trade. How gullible am I.:( It will be interesting to hear his rebuttal

Hmm. Not so sure about this review. He’s been associated in the past with a lot of genuine traders including Richard Farleigh from Dragon’s den who’s one of the top richest Australians as well as Lex Van Dam. And his seminars on the workings of Goldman Sachs and the banking industry seems a little too comprehensive and not rehashed. If he was a scammer than his execution would make Tim Sykes look like an amateur, yet i don’t think he stands out as a braniac con-artist. But as with all things in this industry i’m sure there is a good… Read more »

@ Simon Watfa, Sure, but there’s a huge difference between making your millions upon millions through your own personal trading and being paid millions upon millions to work at a bank and then taking those millions and bank rolling other people’s ventures. Warren Buffett is the first type and Richard Farleigh is the second type.
